Book Review | Covert Cows and Chick-fil-A: How Faith, Cows, and Chicken Built an Iconic Brand
In: bible study, book review, creative, family, generosity, integrity, leadership, restaurants
Chick-fil-A is one of my favorite companies to learn about. I try to read everything I can from any of their executives as it relates to leadership, customer service, marketing, and anything else. Covert Cows and Chick-fil-A: How Faith, Cows, and Chicken Built an Iconic Brand by Steve Robinson, former Marketing Director of Chick-fil-A was a great opportunity to learn more about how some of the foundational things we enjoy about the company today were intentionally put in place. Robinson told several stories about times that Truett Cathy could have compromised on this or that and didn't…and shared why he didn't to ensure that the company knew the "why" behind the "what." That's why Chick-fil-A is still going strong even in the wake of Cathy's death a few years ago.
Culture is the fertile ground that helps to grow a brand. A strong, clear, and understood culture sets up the growth of a great brand. A weak, unclear culture will always lead to a weak brand. p. xviii
The dominant strategies and initiatives that have helped to make Chick-fil-A what and who it is today grew out of the culture established by Truett Cathey and are described by its brand essence: "Where good meets gracious." p. xviii
Chick-fil-A Corporate Purpose: To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us and to have a positive influence on all who come into contact with Chick-fil-A. p. 2
Raving Fan Strategy: executed Operational Excellence, delivered Second-Mile Service, and activated Emotional Connections Marketing. p. 3
"Conversion to Christ is the initial downbeat to an entire magnum opus, which God composes of our lives."-Dr. Charles Swindoll, p. 21
I believe crisis does more than reveal and shape character–it is also a primary catalyst of learning and creativity. Human nature drives us to be more proactive, sensitive learners when we're in a crisis. We're more receptive to the counsel of others. p. 67
If you keep the customer first, and you figure out how to bring the voice of the customer to the leadership table, it's not marketing's opinion any more than it is leadership's opinion. p. 87
In their proposal to earn the Chick-fil-A account, The Richards Group wrote: We believe that all our advertising should be endearing. Rewarding. Relevant. Our aim, when done, is to have the customer respond: "I like what you said", "I like the way you said it", "I like you", "Let's do business". p. 112
In my opinion, three virtues apply to any advertising that is truly brand building. The first is engaging. Then it's endearing. And it's enduring. p. 123
Create eye contact
Speak with an enthusiastic tone
Stay connected to make it personal p. 157

About Us Our Members Bartram's Garden Glen Foerd on the Delaware Independence Seaport Museum Philadelphia Wooden Boat Factory Philadelphia Waterborne UrbanPromise MapContact Us
The Cities of Philadelphia and Camden look very different when viewed from their rivers. Indeed, from the earliest days of their founding right through to the mid-twentieth century, this is how they were predominantly seen and experienced. Continuing the earlier traditions of the native Lenape, the new settlements and new economies were then organized around and towards the Cooper, Delaware, and Schuylkill Rivers, as well as their smaller tributaries. The neighborhoods and communities of Philadelphia and Camden developed organically along and towards these rivers.
From out on the water, the historical stages of the cities themselves—their infrastructure, commerce, social history, modes of recreation, and even environmental challenges—can still be seen along the various waterfronts, revealing much of the evolution of our civic lives over time. With this perspective, our cities' neighborhoods and communities come together—for the rivers run through them all as they join together and flow towards the Delaware Bay, out to the Atlantic Ocean, and connect us to ports all over the globe.
The inspiration and illumination resulting from experiences out on the waters can then open citizens' eyes to new possibilities in terms of education, economics, society, and the environment.
Fortunately, the rivers, unlike many of the properties that line the riverbanks, remain a public
resource, open to all—but only if there are appropriate access points, infrastructure, and expertise to enable citizens to safely experience them. The On the Water Consortium is committed to realizing this vision.
With the support of the William Penn Foundation, six existing programs run by nonprofits in Philadelphia and Camden have come together to advance this vision. Each program already engages in youth boat-building, on-water trekking, community boating, and watershed studies, and we are creating a regional, on the water "trails" network that builds on each program's individual neighborhood initiatives. This Resource Guide provides an introduction to this Consortium, and especially to the activities of each of its member organizations.

Timeless Classics from the Kinks
On March 30th, The Kinks will release specially mastered digital editions of 7 seminal albums from their 1964 debut 'Kinks' to the career defining 1970 opus that is 'Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part 1
On March 30th, The Kinks will release specially mastered digital editions of 7 seminal albums from their 1964 debut 'Kinks' to the career defining 1970 opus that is 'Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part 1'.
The albums have been newly Mastered for iTunes, and will be available in HD on all digital stores and streaming services, via BMG.
This essential series of releases by one of the world's best ever bands is defined by the extraordinary catalogue of Ray Davies' songs, driven by brother Dave Davies' power pop guitar.
Ray Davies is delighted with the results and believes these mastered albums "bring out the original sound brilliantly".
These releases include The Kinks' first 5 albums:
Kinks (1964) featuring 'You Really Got Me' and 'Stop Your Sobbing'
Kinda Kinks (1965) includes 'Tired of Waiting for You'
The Kink Kontroversy (1965) is home to 'Till the End of The Day' and 'Where Have All The Good Times Gone'
Face to Face (1966) has 'Dandy' and 'Sunny Afternoon'
Something Else (1967) one of the Kinks finest albums includes: "David Watts', 'Death of A Clown', 'Waterloo Sunset'
The albums include some of the best songs ever written, and by the time the Kinks released 'Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part 1' in 1970, Ray Davies had established himself as one of the greatest songwriters of his and any generation. Highlights of this essential album include 'Get Back In Line', 'This Time Tomorrow' and 'Lola'.
The following year Ray scored the 1971 film 'Percy', starring Hywel Bennett, Elke Sommer and Britt Ekland, which is the final album to be mastered in this new 7 strong series.
These classic albums have been newly mastered for iTunes (MFiT) and HD from the original tapes by internationally acclaimed mastering engineers Andrew Sandoval and Tim Young at Metropolis Studios, London. The recordings have been mastered for an optimal listening experience on digital formats, both download and streaming.

Wine Women – Philippe Langner, Hesperian Wines
EP17: Philippe Langner decided to start his own wine brand in the true West despite his peripatetic life in Central America, South Asia, South America, Africa, and Europe. In homage to the Garden of the Hesperides, Hesperian's vineyard, at 1,400-foot elevation overlooking the valley from atop Napa's Atlas Peak, Langner's Hesperian — "One of the West" – was founded in 2004. A true vigneron, Philippe holds two masters degrees from U.C. Davis and oversees all aspects of farming his mountain vineyard. He joins host Marcia Macomber on the show at Napa's Kitchen Collective, where monthly salons are held with fans of HesperianWines.com. Tune in as they taste through Philippe's Cabernet Sauvignons and discuss his career and life trajectory to Napa Valley, as well as his life-long love of all things that grow. He insists, "I work harder in the vineyard so that my winemaking can be as simple as possible."

Lenore Zann on not returning to Parliament but being the voice of a mutant superhero
John DeMont | Posted: Nov. 26, 2021, 1:30 p.m. | Updated: Nov. 29, 2021, 6 a.m. | 8 Min Read
It was Lenore Zann's 62nd birthday last week. Had things worked out a little differently last summer, when the former provincial MLA was running for her second term as the Liberal member of Parliament for Cumberland-Colchester, she would have spent her birthday returning to the House of Commons.
But since she lost the election, the experienced radio, television, film and stage actor returned to the production studio last week, once again supplying the voice for Rogue, a much-loved character in X-Men '97, an animated series that originally ran from 1992 to 1997 but is now being rebooted by Disney +.
And early next year, Zann will start shooting a new feature film — details to come — right here in Nova Scotia.
So there was much to talk about last week, when she sat down for a virtual chat about the harsh world of politics, and her return to the performing world.
This interview has been edited and tightened for reasons of space.
Former MP Lenore Zann and Rogue, the superpowered mutant character she voices.
John DeMont: How does not being in Ottawa to return to Parliament feel?
Lenore Zann: Let's put it this way: I was very disappointed, devastated, really, on the loss, and I would have loved to be back in Parliament with my Liberal colleagues and fighting for all the right things for Canadians, and right here for Nova Scotians. I would have started on my birthday. But to be honest, instead, I was in the studio starting work on my new project, the new series for Disney/Marvel Studios. Go figure.
JD: This, then, was a return to what you've always done.
LZ: It's interesting. I was nervous going into the studio because I hadn't done any voiceover performances other than singing for about 10 years. And I was wondering do I still have it? Do they have this faith in me, and it's unfounded? But as soon as I get the headphones on and started doing the lines, I mean, it really is like riding a bicycle. It just came back. Thank God.
JD: How does it feel to lose an election?
LZ: I had already been deeply grieving for the past year because my sweet young niece had been given a terminal diagnosis, cancer, osteosarcoma. She had to have her leg amputated. She was a gymnast, and she had just turned 17, and she died in the summer. And so, I was grieving deeply. And then the election was called. So, to be honest, having to put on a smile and be seen in pictures going out and meeting people and trying to be happy or at least perceived as happy, is difficult. That is a very tough acting job. Especially in a summer that is hot, nobody really wanted an election, and people are disgruntled, angry, mad, frustrated, and there you are and you're an easy target. So, for me when I lost it felt like a continuation of the grieving I already was feeling and actually to be able to stay in my house and just grieve for a few weeks for both my niece and for the loss, and for everything else that has happened was almost necessary, I had to do that.
Lenore Zann with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and retiring Cumberland-Colchester MP Bill Casey. Zann was elected as Casey's replacement during the 2019 election. - Darrell Cole
JD: Has it gotten better for women in politics?
LZ: It's very difficult as a woman. The closer you get to that ring of power, it seems the patriarchal part of society, those who are traditionally thinking that men should be running the show, they fight harder and dirtier and really try to take you down, and it's vicious. I don't have a thick skin, but I've learned to overcome any of the projectiles that are sent my way, and to try not to let them affect me personally, which is very difficult to do. So, any woman who is thinking about running needs to be aware of that, but also do it anyway.
JD: And now you have returned to performing. A little stage fright?
LZ: The beautiful thing about doing voiceover and radio or even for me television and film is that I don't get really too nervous because I know you can do it again. You can do another take. When you can get stage fright is when you have to learn an entire piece and go on stage for two hours and hope that nothing goes wrong. And I've had that before in the past. But I do notice that once I get out on stage, I'm in the zone, and I don't think about anything else other than just being in that reality and being in the moment. The little bit of trepidation when I first went in the studio to start X Men '97 this week was my own thoughts of: do I still have it after 10 or 11 years of not being in an animation studio playing a role and Rogue, I hadn't done for 30 years. But she came right back, and it was like it was yesterday.
Lenore Zann and her parents, Paul Zann and Janice Rose Zann, visited Parliament Hill prior to her swearing-in ceremony as the new MP for Cumberland-Colchester on Nov. 26, 2017.ed
JD: What do we need to know about Rogue?
LZ: Well (using her Rogue voice) Rogue is the strongest woman in the universe, because her superpower is that if she touches anybody skin to skin, she drains them of all their life power and takes it upon herself and becomes stronger. And whatever superpower they had, she then has those superpowers. So, fans would know that Ms. Marvel, who is the subject of a number of movies now, was killed by Rogue when Rogue was convinced by her mother — a bad character, Mystique — to drain Ms. Marvel's life forces and that's when she got her ability to fly. So, it's pretty convoluted, but fans are totally excited about this new announcement by Disney and Marvel Studios that we're going to be back in the saddle and doing another series.
JD: Did you read X-Men comics as a kid?
LZ: I wasn't into comics when I was a kid. But once I got the role, 30 years ago, I started reading them and fans sent them to me. And also, I'm told that kids today in school, a lot of kids who struggle with reading, teachers are giving them new comic books to read, and the kids are lapping them up. And that's good to know. This show is about equality. It's about caring for each other. It's about bringing everybody together, finding what is the same in all of us and, and appreciating our differences. And I think that that's a great message for the world right now.
JD: Where does Rogue's voice come from?
LZ: Roque is really me. They said just use your own voice but put a southern accent on it. They said we want a deep, husky, sexy voice with a southern accent. And I didn't go to the first auditions because I really wasn't into doing voiceovers and cartoons. At that point in time, I was a serious actor, and I was doing movies and television and theatre and all that. But my agent at the time said, Lenore they've been looking for months for the right actor to play this character, and they haven't found it because it's you — get in there. So, I did. And I just relate to her so much. I mean, she spends a lot of her early years searching for herself, travelling around, trying to figure out what's her place in the universe. And I did that: I travelled all over the world by myself and had some very difficult times: I was sexually assaulted, a couple of times; I was raped. And I had to deal with that at an early age, and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. But you carry those scars with you a long time. And so Rogue has a lot of pain that she carries, and I'm able to express that in a way that people can relate to it.
JD: Will your place in the universe ever include politics again?
LZ: I would never say never. You never know where the future will lead. But I enjoyed the 12 years that I had. … But at this point, I have to look at it and say OK, there must be a reason, and right after the election, I was offered a feature film that's shooting here in Nova Scotia, and then the X-Men came along and found me. … My job, I think, is to tell kids that they all have their own special superpower, and they just have to focus on that because every single one of them is special and we need them all, and they can do anything they want, as long as they put their mind to it, work hard and have a dream, they can make it come true.

Selecting the right type of door for your home can make a big difference. Today, uPVC and composite doors are very popular and to choose the door that is just right for your home, you need to know the difference between the two. Here, at Abelglass, we have both types of doors. So, you can choose either, depending on your requirement.
PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is a chemical compound derived from chlorine, hydrogen and carbon. The "u" stands for un-plasticised, which means that chemicals known as plasticisers have not been added to the PVC to soften it.
These doors do not rot or decompose when exposed to water.
They are resistant to weathering.
They are low maintenance doors.
uPVC doors are tough and can withstand impact easily.
It does not warp or get out of shape due to varying temperatures.
uPVC can be reshaped at extremely high temperatures and, hence, are considered recyclable.
Composite doors are resistant to weathering.
They maintain their shape and appearance in all weathers and temperatures; and do not warp, twist, dent or bow.
They are more energy efficient compared to wooden doors, as they have higher thermal resistance.
They are low maintenance doors and can be cleaned using a damp cloth.
They are available in a range of colours and finishes.
We, at Abelglass, realise the importance of choosing the right door. A door is the first line of defence against intruders and, hence, it should be sturdy and secure. This is exactly what you can expect from our uPVC and composite doors. Our wide range of uPVC and composite doors can suit anyone's taste and budget. So, contact us today on 01253 893355 to experience our professional and reliable services, and get the perfect uPVC or composite door to match the architecture of your home. The end results will not just reflect your personality, but it will also be well within your budget.

Home & Away: Is Ben innocent?
Delta Goodrem rocked by sex scandal
She admits to being in tears over stunning revelations - by New Idea
She's got a squeaky clean image that has helped her escape many of the tawdry dramas that have so often plagued some of her pop contemporaries.
But Delta Goodrem admits she was left shocked and in tears when an investigation by a team of researchers from hit show Who Do You Think You Are? unearthed a series of scandals in her family.
'I could never have expected the twists and turns,' Delta confessed to Australian Women's Weekly of the show.
Chief among the eyebrow-raising moments was the revelation of a major sex scandal - her great grandmother Florence had a son from an outrageous affair with a key member of the Melbourne establishment - before she went on to work as a showgirl in the US.
But the man involved had a particularly unsavoury outcome - being disinherited after convictions for larceny and fraud. That particular revelation left Delta in tears, with the star admitting she 'can't deal' with the knowledge one of her ancestors 'preyed on small people.'
The show will air on SBS on September 27.

Centro Feste (Party Central) è un cortometraggio statunitense realizzato in computer grafica diretto da Kelsey Mann. Si tratta del secondo sequel/midquel del franchise tratto dal film Monsters & Co. della Pixar Animation Studios, dopo il precedente corto La nuova macchina di Mike e ha luogo subito dopo gli eventi del film Monsters University. Il cortometraggio ha debuttato nelle sale cinematografiche statunitensi accanto al film live-action della Walt Disney Pictures Muppets 2 - Ricercati mentre in Italia è stato inserito esclusivamente nel DVD I corti Pixar - Vol. 3.

Trama
Mike e Sulley fanno visita all'università durante il fine settimana, per vedere cosa stiano facendo i loro confratelli Oozma Kappa. Il gruppo sta organizzando la loro prima festa, ma nessuno si presenta. Tuttavia Mike e Sulley hanno un piano per ravvivare la casa. Utilizzando un videocitofono in prestito, si intrufolano in una festa presso la confraternita Roar Omega Roar portando via tutto il loro cibo e tutti gli ospiti per riempire la propria casa Oozma Kappa. La corsa li porta attraverso le porte della camera da letto di una coppia sposata, disturbando ripetutamente il loro sonno.

Una volta riusciti a riempire la propria festa, la madre di Scott "Soufflé" Squibbles, Sherri, finisce per trovarcisi in mezzo mentre sta facendo un carico di biancheria. Sherri è arrabbiata con la confraternità, ma solo perché non l'hanno invitata. Dopo aver acceso un falò sul prato, Sherri presenta alla folla una "door jamming", ovvero saltare dal tetto con l'aiuto di due porte per atterrare in sicurezza sul prato. Gli ospiti si congratulano con gli Oozma Kappas per aver organizzato una grande festa, e molti di loro decidono di unirsi alla confraternità.

In una scena dopo i titoli di coda, il marito e la moglie svegliano il loro figlio Timmy e chiedono se possono dormire con lui, dicendo che ci sono dei mostri nel loro armadio. Il figlio risponde loro con veemenza, "e io ve l'ho anche detto non so quante volte!".

Middle East and North Africa Advisory Council
The purpose of the Middle East and North Africa Advisory Council (MENAAC) is to: (1) advise the AACSB Board of Directors and staff on key issues and challenges, and assist in setting priorities related to business education and AACSB's activities and engagement in the MENA context; (2) enhance AACSB's ability to understand and serve the quality improvement needs of business schools in the Middle East and North Africa; (3) provide guidance to the Board of Directors and staff in designing and implementing a strategic plan for AACSB's mission in the region, and in creating metrics to evaluate progress; (4) assist the staff in the identification and planning of AACSB programming and new service development to meet the needs of MENA business schools; and (5) recommend candidates for AACSB governance roles thereby increasing the representation and engagement of schools from the MENA region.
MENAAC's work will be driven by the five opportunities of a Collective Vision for Business Education:
Catalysts for innovation: Powering business creation and economic development through entrepreneurship and management innovation

Ex-scout master jailed for sex offences
A former scout master who assaulted a young Scarborough boy in the 1970s and 80s has been jailed for eight years.
Richard Biddick, 76, appeared at York Crown Court for sentencing today (Friday).
He had pleaded guilty at a previous hearing to two charges of indecent assault on the pre-teen boy between December 1979 and October 1980.
Biddick, of Baring Road, Croydon, Surrey, learnt of his fate via live video link from a custody suite in Hull Prison.
Detective Constable Kate Peet of Scarborough Serious Crime Team, said: "I am satisfied with the sentence handed out to Biddick, although nothing can erase the harm that he has caused.
"It was very difficult for the victim to come forward and he has waited a long time to see justice done.
"I hope it brings some form of comfort to him knowing that Biddick is now facing a long time in prison."

Small businesses today are competing with a lot of noise. Consumers are plowing through the clutter as they use DVRs to skip through commercials, install ad-blockers to browse the websites they love without ads interrupting, and customize what shows up in their social media news feeds.
This makes it imperative to find ways to make sure your small business isn't ignored. Write messages that your target audience will want to see and read. Whether you are looking for topics for social media post inspiration or ideas to use to make your blog posts draw customers in, it's essential to reevaluate the way you communicate with customers. Replace the sales pitch with helpful information and the consumers will start to open their eyes and ears. Market with the goal to make buyers see your brand as a valued information provider — not an interruption.
This type of marketing is called content marketing. Content marketing focuses on communicating with the customer and creating and distributing information with the intent to engage a target audience and promote brand awareness. Information needs to be relevant and value-packed to help your small business attract and retain customers. Take a look at these 4 ways content marketing can drive results and increase your bottom line.
One key to a successful content marketing strategy is consistency. Publish fresh content regularly to create multiple opportunities for your target market to see your company's name. This is one of many ways to stand out from your competition, plus repetition makes your brand more familiar. Stay in the forefront of consumer's minds so the next time they want or need the products or services you offer, they support you.
If there are eight electricians in town and only one provides helpful information to people in the community, this is the brand that will stand apart as the trusted expert. Take the necessary actions to demonstrate your expertise so prospective customers don't question or research your skills. The small business that helps consumers, especially when they aren't getting paid, will also earn a reputation of being trustworthy.
Create a steady flow of new information on various topics to open doors and drive traffic to your website. You want to bring people in through search, traditional media, social media, and more. Marketing tactics such as pay-per-click advertising and digital banner ads don't work as well if there is no content to promote. These vehicles need something to discuss and a place to link to. Publish relevant and current content so people have a reason to click and to encourage repeat visitors. These types of content also boost search engine ranking and increase the chances that potential customers will find your small business before they find your competition.
Today's consumer relies heavily on the web to find the information needed to make decisions. A website is often a consumer's first impression of that business, so it's crucial to make it a good one. A stale website will not impress your customers and gives off an unprofessional vibe. Consumers who are on the fence may look at a website or a social media page multiple times, so make sure to have new information to see to make their experience a better one.
Content marketing is one of the most low-cost and effective ways you can drive traffic and build awareness for your small business. Work to create content that attracts, acquires and engages your target audience. It may take some time to see the results, but don't give up. Stick with your content marketing strategy and continue to refine it and it will lead your small business to great success.
It is impossible to rank a website without good content. While there are people who may argue that content is not that important, they will soon realize that they can hardly compete with their competitors simply because of the lack of content.
Very well written article. Content is really a great way to drive quality readers to your website or blog. Some times people think that content doesn't play any role to marketing but the fact is that "Content is still a King" Quality content develops good readership of your website or blog.
Content marketing is key and this article does a great job of communicating its core value, Megan!
It feeds so many of the pieces of a strong small business marketing plan, such as SEO efforts you mentioned above AKA fresh web content. It is, however, only valuable when it is implemented strategically. Throwing random pieces of content at consumers can be a waste of time and result in lower ROI than content that is planned, tracked, and measured for success.
We need to optimize our limited resources for optimal results!
Thank you Megan for an insightful article about the importance content marketing. I am always telling clients that a quality, up to date website is just as important as a bricks and mortar shopfront and requires just as much attention and investment. First impressions count and having a website that offers engaging content that is targeted to their ideal client is essential to convert these visitors to paying customers and also improve the ranking of the website.
Justine, your comment about strategically implementing is very important and communicating this to business owners can sometimes be difficult. But when done properly, the business benefits in many ways.
Content marketing is essential nowadays. Google is no longer ranking sites just because of relevance. It is also ranking sites based on how useful they are.
Content marketing is a long-term strategy to attract and retain customers by creating and curating valuable & relevant content.
The goal of content marketing is simple. The same cannot be said for the amount of work done to make IT happen.
Hey Megan, this was indeed a very encouraging post for content marketers and strategic post for small scale business-men. A small business requires advertising which can only be done by letting the audience know more about the business. And to cater the audience and gain their curiousity and interest regarding the business is something that can only be done by creative and excellent content marketing. So thank you for this post!!
Hey, Megan, this was indeed a very encouraging post for content marketers and strategic post for small scale businessmen. A small business requires a different kind of publicity and encouragement. The publicity can only be gained if content marketing is done in a creative manner. Also, the reviews from the audience are great sources of encouragement for a small scale business. Thus the more the content shared, the larger the growth of business.
Not only small business, any business with higher vision needs better content marketing strategy. Now with the aid of social media content marketing really making significant boost in business.
As a marketing strategist from lake b2b we give a lot of importance to content marketing. we can see from lot of research that if content strategy is good the organic traffic increases and the brand becomes visible.But there are lot of other medium to promote your brand. But knowing the target audience and using the medium accordingly is important to survive in the market.
Regardless of what type of marketing tactics you use, content marketing should be part of your process, not something separate. Quality content is part of all forms of marketing.
Thanks for the great read and tips.
Content marketing can grow your brand in many ways. Posting content 3-4 times a day on social media, regular blog updates and informative small videos can grow your business. You just have to provide informative and creative content.
A website can attract huge traffic from good-quality content.

Gilabertus de Toulouse, también nombrado como Maestro Gilabert, fue un escultor francés del periodo románico, que elaboró su obra en el siglo XII. Máximo representante de la Escuela de Toulouse, integrada en la Escuela del Languedoc, está considerado uno de los precursores de la escultura gótica.

La vida del escultor apenas se conoce; fue un maestro que regentaba un taller en la ciudad francesa de la que toma el nombre, Toulouse, que en ciertos periodos fue itinerante desplazándose a Cataluña para realizar sus obras y, como característica, fue el primer escultor en firmarlas, práctica inédita para la época.

Su particular escultura diferente a la de los cánones tradicionales establecidos de la época, huyendo de representaciones planas e inexpresivas, confiriendo a sus obras relieve, rasgos y expresiones marcadamente humanos, y movimiento en conjunto trabajando minuciosamente los pliegues del ropaje, cabellos, manos, le llevan junto al Maestro de Cabestany, Gislebert de Autun o Antelami de Parma a ser considerado «Uno de los escultores más importantes de la Edad Media» según el historiador y experto en arte Rolf Legler.

Obras

Obras en Toulouse
En esta ciudad es donde se conserva la mayor parte de su obra, principalmente en el Museo de los Agustinos, instalado en el convento, donde en los años 1830 se recompuso el portal de la antigua sala capitular de la catedral de Toulouse, obra de Gilabertus.

Contiene el museo  una importante muestra de capiteles, destacando el de La muerte de Juan el Bautista elaborado en 1120 y ocho bajorrelieves que representan a los apóstoles. También se encuentra el bajorrelieve de San Andrés y de Santo Tomás, que llevaba inscrita la firma del maestro, en latín, actualmente desaparecida:

"Gilabertus, que no era un desconocido, me ha esculpido"

Obras en Cataluña
La Virgen del Claustro  o Mare de Déu del claustre de la catedral de Santa María de Solsona, esculpida  en el último tercio del siglo XII, representa el contrapunto entre la escultura tradicional languedociana relacionada con las escuelas italianas, marcando nuevas tendencias escultóricas dando paso a la inminente transición al gótico.

Se observa en la escultura de piedra caliza oscurecida, de unos 105 cm de altura representando a la Virgen coronada con el niño en la falda, un delicado trabajo destacando la expresión del rostro, los pliegues de la ropa que le otorgan gran dinamismo y una elaborada ornamentación.

En el claustro de dicha catedral el maestro dejó otras obras importantes como dos columnas, una con figuras humanas en relieve y otra representando la figura de un obispo, o un friso en el cual se observa una pelea de caza.

Keep connecting the same colored Soldam to form an entire row and erase.
Use flanking methods to change the colors of previously dropped Soldam to your advantage. Strategize your next move and maximize that score.
